Selena Gomez and her fiance, music producer Benny Blanco, are reportedly planning to marry in Montecito, California, at the end of the month, multiple outlets reported Friday.
TMZ said the 33-year-old singer and actress and the 37-year-old producer will hold the ceremony in Montecito, a quiet, affluent community on California’s Central Coast near Santa Barbara. The report said the couple has rented a private residence for the event and is choosing a private setting for security and privacy rather than a hotel venue.
The Daily Mail and other outlets have previously reported that Gomez and Blanco, who have been engaged for months, were expected to wed sometime in September. TMZ’s account added that the ceremony is likely to take place toward the end of the month, though it did not provide a specific date.
Montecito, nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, is home to numerous high-profile residents. Reports noted the neighborhood includes properties owned by Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston and has attracted members of the British royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. TMZ said the couple will not use well-known local hotels such as the Rosewood Miramar Beach or the San Ysidro Ranch for the ceremony.
Representatives for Gomez and Blanco did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither outlet providing the initial reports cited an official invitation or public announcement of the wedding date.
Gomez and Blanco went public with their relationship in 2023 and announced their engagement the following year. Gomez is best known for her work as a singer and as an actor on television and in film; Blanco has produced and written songs for a range of pop artists and has worked in the music industry for more than a decade.
The reported choice of a private Montecito residence follows a trend among high-profile couples seeking low-key ceremonies away from large public venues. Both TMZ and the Daily Mail framed the reported plans as consistent with efforts to limit public attention and enhance guest security. As of Friday, no wedding invitation, permit filing or other official confirmation of the date or venue has been made public.
